What a shocker, I had this guy marked down as a potential great. :o

Do you think he can rebound? Was it just a damning temple shot that he couldn't recover from, or has he got a fragile beard full stop?
And what of Juan Carlos Salgado, is he as good as this win portrays? He is undefeated after all.
Woah! That was real Amir Khan territory. Got caught cold and his opponent gave him no room to breathe after getting up. Bit of a shocker that!
It's hard to tell anything from that really. Perhaps Linares is a bit chinny and just maybe Salgado is the real deal. It's just hard to make any solid conclusions on the basis of a single minute though.
That Juan Salgado has made a firm statement with that result. First real connect and game over.
Wow, what a shocker.
On a side note I love how the Jap announcers are so into the boxing matches.
Shocking, yes, but there were some signs that something like this could happen. Linares is a good technical boxer, but he needs space to think. Linares was very uncomfortable with Gamaliel Diaz and Oscar Larios when they pressured him. He was unraveling at times during those fights. He can come back from this, but he needs to needs to learn to deal with aggressive opponents better.
And the sound that punch made was amazing
Sweet left hook.
Awesome punch. Linares had guts getting up and going on, but he looked cooked.Quote:

My suggestion to Salgado, Never sign with Golden Boy!!! Pick Toprank!!
When he was first coming up I was real high on him but I thought the hype got a bit out of control after the Larios fight. Not that I stopped thinking he could be a top guy or anything, far from it but BoomBoom is right the Diaz fight is remembered by most for the perfect one punch KO he had but he showed some vulnerabilities there, and he was hurt there so his chin has to have question marks. I still think he could get back into the picture though.
Plus his career has been kind of stop and start with injuries and so forth. He needs to get right back in there although not against this guy who may have something.
Wow.Did not see that coming.Wouldn't call him chinny,just cold.All of the layoffs caught up maybe.Was out on his feet.Far better than a prolonged drubbing
It's not actually that surprising, boxing is one of the top sports over there.Quote:

While I did not expect him to win I did think Salgado was going to be competitive. He was more than competitive. I had been waiting for Salgado to step up in competition to see how good he really was. He's obviously very good
Very impressive.Strong tooQuote:

Shocker of a result. Linares caught cold.
Huge upset Linares was 1/25 on!!
Holy shit , 25 to 1 odds against a undefeated fighter?
Watching the tape, I would have to say it was definately a perfect shot, looked like to the jaw. Linares was off balance moving backwards, and by the way he got up stretching his jaw leaning against the ropes you could tell his equilibrium was shot. He should have taken a knee before he got rocked again. He can definately bounce back from that, it was just a lucky shot.
Whats with Golden Boy, seems like they sign a prospect and they lose. Didnt that just happen with Ortiz, was Khan GBP when he lost to Prescott?
I completely agree and I agreed with those who pointed out his struggles with Diaz. Larios gave him a good fight too but I thought given the circumstances (and Larios is no slouch) that was a really impressive (also scary) performance.Quote:

He can definitely rebound and I agree with Spicoli, if his head is fine then the sooner the better.
What a shocker. Valero is heading that path.
It was a perfect shot to the temple, just as I suspected.

That was bang on the button, and you know those temple shots can really mess up everything about your balance for a long time in a fight.
Think Salgado got a good slice of luck there, will be interesting to see if a rematch transpires.
Damn. I though it was a 1-2 punch (jab and straight right) that got the job done. It was actually a perfect left hook. Linares should've taken the knee an buy more seconds. But obviously he was totally disoriented.Quote:

What a stunner. Linares gets flattened and Lopez gets made to look ordinary by a journeyman. Two of boxing's top prospects have a bad weekend.
Here's the fight if anybody wants it.

Blimey, what a surprise. I gasped watching the left hand floor him even knowing the result.
It seems like anytime a fighter comes into a fight with a moe hawk they always get upset(P. Williams, S. Powel)
I'm a good Catholic boy. I'd never put myself in moral danger by watching one of those things.Quote:

linares was always a stiff fighter with decent offensive skills.
it was eventually going to happen he a great offensive fighter not hard to hit though
he's seem not to respect salgado and payed the price
